If you want to keep up with the latest and greatest in the world of audio, NAMM’s the place to go. NAMM 2012 has just finished, and I got to experience it through the tweets of Audiotuts+ authors Björgvin Benediktsson and Ryan Leach, who were both there.

Featured Artist: Eric Vasquez

Today we feature the work of Eric Vasquez. You may recognize some of Eric’s work as he is one of our most popular tutorial authors. What you may not know is that asides from writing for PSDFAN, Eric runs his own personal design business, and has built up an incredibly portfolio of work.

Eric’s work often uses amazing lighting techniques, and subtle coloring that gives his compositions a really professional gloss. His attention to detail is truly inspiring, and he often works with mixed media techniques to really give a sense of depth and variety to his work. Eric has been featured in Advanced Photoshop Magazine and has also participated in two art exhibits including The Art Of Fashion Show at Webster Hall, NYC in 2010.

Eric is also an active member of the design community, and I’m sure would be happy to network with you guys if you have any questions or feedback for him.

You might have seen a lot of panning websites in Flash. In these sites if you click on a link, the page automatically scrolls to that content. This effect looks great and is better than just plain old webpages. But believe it or not this effect is extremely easy to make. It’s so easy that you can make a simple website in one day. In this tutorial I am going to show you how to make this effect in Flash. Before you begin this tutorial you must know the basics of movieClips, Buttons and ActionScript 3.0.

FanExtra Featured at MightyDeals

Today I’m really happy to announce that we’ve once again been featured at the ever-awesome MightyDeals. Some of you may remember when we ran a deal with them around one year ago. It was a great experience and we learnt a lot, but to be honest our FanExtra members area was still in it’s infancy.

One of the awesome things about this new deal is to see just how far we’ve come. In the last year we’ve added well over 1000 quality resources to our members area, and our member community has gone through the roof! We’ve been getting some fantastic feedback from members, and have always been able to cater to member requests for specific files and content, so we can give you guys exactly what you want.

HTML5 is gaining more popularity and starting to evolutionise the entire web interface. Even some web developers quoted that HTM5 elements and visual effects are comparable to Flash. The new scripting style is easy to understand and capabilities to enhance the web interface is limitless. So how interesting is this HTML5 anyway?

This article is intended to give readers an insight on what you should know about the HTML5 and most importantly some tips & tricks on creating lightweight, attractive, and interactive HTML5 pages.

1. Basic in HTML5

Before we begin any further of this topic in HTML5, it will be good to check your current browser first. As many of the browsers are still in the development mode (enhancement to accomodate the HTML5), some features mentioned here may not be supportable.

Creating an Icon

Google Calendar is one of many apps that runs on the Internet, not on your desktop. I’ll show you how to make your very own desktop icon for Google Calendar and, hopefully, the skills behind creating other similar icons. I hope you enjoy the experience!

There’s no denying that the Internet is going to be a big part of our future of computing. Running applications in the cloud have already become popular, with services such as Google Apps, which we also offer to our clients. Whether you use Google Mail and Google Calendar to help to manage productivity, or social lifestyling apps like Twitter and Facebook, there’s probably a web-based application or two running on your computer throughout the day.

When it comes to animation, nothing beats Flash. Flash has an arsenal of powerful tools that help to make animations easily. If you have done some animation in flash then you know that frame by frame animation gets a little hectic sometimes. There is tweening ; but it is only helpful when the change in position of a body is in the same direction. If you want your object to follow a specific path which is not in one direction then that’s where guide layers come in. Guide layers are exactly what their name suggests, they guide the object to maintain their path of motion. In this tutorial I am going to show you how to use guide layers. You have to know the basics of animation in Flash before you can take this tutorial, If you want to start on that then please see my previous tutorial about animation.
